1. Do it in the tub: Soaking your legs before you shave makes the hairs softer and easier to shave.
2. Don't hate, exfoliate: Using a scrub or gloves or even a simple washcloth will help prevent ingrown hairs.
3. Use shaving cream: Stop with the soap already! It can increase irritation and blunt your blades. Which brings us to...
4. Invest in a good razor. If it's disposable, use it a maximum of three times, then toss it.
5. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. (And pull a Daenerys and bend the knee to get a close shave.)
6. If you are prone to the after shave bumps, get an aftershave product to treat the skin.
7. Clean your blades with rubbing alcohol and keep them dry between uses.
